Love it! Reminds me of my youth. I would definitely wear it.

I could see it with Linea-LDO.

Classic and fun.

I like it and would purchase. Having it on the 3 pockets of the jacket might not work. I try not to draw attention to my chest . Nice to see something simple, basic with classic style and not a sack.

It reminds me of the times my mother had me use it as trim on a jacket in junior high. It took me a few tries to get it attached in a straight line even with it hand tacked in place. Great memories. Thanks

@lolakimonoThe fashions you're showing are far more sophisticated and far more attractive than the rick rack I remember from my childhood. It's a trim that can easily go wrong in the wrong hands.

Yes ... I like it. I bought some wide white rickrack and thinking about putting it on a pair of my cotton summer pants to "jazz" them up.

Not for me. Didn't like it when I was kid and still not my taste.

A little too arts and craftsy for my taste. Isn't it called bric-a-brac?

Looking at the rick rack brought back memories of my mother sewing. She was an excellent seamstress and when I was young I was fascinated by the beautiful materials and trimmings around our house. I especially remember rick rack - I liked it back at that time and Mom used it on several items she made for me. Since I had such fond memoriles of ilt, I really wanted to say Yay and looked at the clothes shown several times trying to like them, but I guess I have changed from Yay when young to Nay now.
